Harry Dean Stanton died last year. Wonder who they'll get to play North. Or is it a doc? Haven't looked. |

 ok, I guess I was scooped: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=113838&p=3034863&hilit=mike+north+movie#p3034863 I'll be honest, I think they are going to try to roast him using the hug-a-balck, Chinaman, Bookie Priest, etc. stuff. I don't think he realizes it, but he is going to be attacked - big time. |

"He's produced some big movies...Underdog..." I love what Mike was until the last few years and I think there is a movie there |

But the question is, how does the movie end. The general thought is that any move has three parts. Part 1 - Mike North breaking into the business Part 2 - Mike North at the top of the Chicago media pyramid, hanging with celebs, etc. Part 3 - What's your third part? If your third part is honest, you're looking at some kind of a quasi tragedy (in the literary sense) where North gets roped into a ponzi scam and suffers the ultimate humiliation both professionally and personally. I'm not sure that's the movie that Pappy wants to have made. |

Will they be faithful to the source material? Will they include "Hug a Black" day? "Steak and BJ" day? "Sombrero" day to celebrate Antonio Mora? |

Mike isn't sufficiently honest with himself to create that story. |

Panther pislA wrote: To suggest that he is in bad shape right now would be way off. Correct, but it also cannot suggest that he's livin' large, either. Almost like GoodFella's....he is a regular (retired) snook, living in Huntley. Not loaded, not poor. I like the sitting in the lawn chair. I'm sure North still has plenty of friends and isn't in isolation, but he's also not buying rounds for entire bars. |
